So. Here's this article about high paying low stress jobs.

Let's start with "high paying" meaning apparently $45,000 and up.  If that doesn't say something about the current economic environment, I don't know what does.

Now let's move on to "low stress".  How the hell is being a civil engineer low stress?  If you fuck up, a bridge collapses.  A building falls down.  Things go boom.  Personally, I'd find that a wee bit stressful.

Then there's being a computer engineer.  What the hell universe do the people who wrote the article live in where a computer programmer isn't under high stress?  Hell, some of the big gaming companies got nailed a few years ago about making people work 70+ hours for weeks on end trying to hit deadlines.  Tiny bit stressful.

Sure, neither of those are being cops or soldiers but I wouldn't call either of those low stress.
